Richardson Electronics is able to meet FAA and foreign government regulations by supplying documentation requirements on TSOA and PMA certified parts for traceability. Additionally, as the exclusive distributor of L-3 Communications' (formerly Litton) airborne weather magnetrons, we can supply TSOA certification for these products.
